There is an access right over part of the Fox Creek Circuit that allows legal access to the development site. The generally 3 meter wide right of way on the left side of Fox Creek County is a legal access road to the development site. Given the location of the access easement, it is considered that any vehicle traveling clockwise along the Fox Creek circuit toward the development site can reasonably be expected to remain within the easement.

07/07/2017 Additional information submitted
An updated version of the traffic report was also submitted after the conciliation conference, intended to be submitted with the original application (dated 20 March 2017). A conciliation conference was held on May 29, 2017 due to the large number of submissions to the proposal. Council staff will consider the issues raised at the conference and this will aid in their assessment.
The applicant will consider the questions raised and consider amending the application, including the location of the yard. It should be noted that the applicant has not relocated the courtyard as proposed, but a slanted Plexiglas panel is proposed to reduce noise. Amendments to the proposal are considered not to warrant re-notification of the proposal due to their minor nature.
Compliance with DCP 2012
No, but the parking provision is satisfactory given the number of visitors, the context of the location and measures to supplement the on-site parking. No, due to the restricted nature of the site, limited landscaping has been provided within the car park. DCP requires 1 space per 1.85 m2 of service area in the bar and lounge plus 1 space per 2 employees, which requires the provision of 227 parking spaces, of which 19 parking spaces at the subject location plus 11 parking spaces at no.
An amendment is required to the Parking section (Part C Section 1) of DCP 2012 in relation to the calculated rate and provision of off-street parking.
It is considered that the proposed parking provided for this proposal is satisfactory given

Issues Raised in Submissions
It is not appropriate to rely on the parking provided for adjacent premises as circumstances may change and you may not be able to use it. Title restriction no. 3 to ensure that these premises are available for hotel use during the scheduled hours. In this regard, a condition is recommended that requires the undertaking to be created before the certificate of occupation is issued.
The traffic report relies too much on public transport, as it is very limited in this area. There was no reference to the use of public transport when supporting the parking version. In the evening after 17:00, this car park is underutilized and given the peak demand for the proposal, it seems reasonable to replace the on-site parking offer.
The site includes adequate footpaths, pedestrian crossings (marked and signposted) and pedestrian refuges. The municipality is currently investigating various options to build a road that goes around the corner of the Ronde Hoek.
